INTERNATIONAL swimmers Caroline Saxby and Chris Alderton met up with young stars of the future at development camps encouraging children to excel at the sport.
Caroline, a double Commonwealth Games finalist, and Chris, who holds a European Youth Olympic silver medal, took time out from their training with Wear Valley ASC to visit the Durham Sport camps held in Teesdale.
All the 14 children taking part were selected because they had performed well at their school galas. The camps are part of an initiative run by Durham Sport through its Active Sports Programme aimed at giving children opportunities to participate in sport and be trained by top coaches.
